I think confidence is his main issue. He's looked a lot more relaxed in his passing since coming back into the side on Wednesday, taking a second and looking around before moving it on which has helped a lot. He's a hard runner and has got good defensive instincts, that's worth a lot in some set ups. There's a reason Rafa rated him so highly, for his set up where he wanted no space afforded to the opposition, it was invaluable.

Tonali was great midweek, and he was excellent when he came on today as well. Not sure he'll start against Forest, but at least the midfield is starting to look less fragile. He looks much better when he's played centrally.

I want to see us set up hard to break down, no gifts early on. If we don't concede, I think we come away with all 3 points.

Felt a bit annoyed when Eddie shook his hand tbh, but I guess we shouldn't stoop to their level.
-
Looked as if he was sulking a bit when he first got shifted to the right, although I'm sure he wasn't in reality. But looked really up for it today, was superb from start to finish.

I know that's tongue in cheek, but still a reminder how few top class strikers there are in Europe. Just ask Man U.

We are exactly where we deserve to be IMO. We got a few lucky results early in the season, then we could argue we deserved better against Everton and Brighton, although I don't really agree. I think today we looked like we had good shape, following on from Wednesday where we had players who could recover well when we lost the ball. I would prefer some more dull performances for a while where we are still 0-0 after an hour rather than going hell for leather and giving away goals because we don't have any cover when we get dispossessed. Enjoyed being in control both on Wednesday and today.

You can lose against anyone on the day, only thing which would disappoint me is if we conceded more sloppy goals. We looked solid today for the first time in a long while, and it went a long way to getting the result.

Over 90 mins if you can restrict a team like Arsenal to one chance, that's not bad like.
-
We had such a compact shape and allied to our application, I never really felt like we were going to concede after the first 5 mins.
-
Our shape looked a lot better suited to the players we had out there.
-
Tbf, it took a brave man to take out Tonali and Kelly after midweek but he did it. And he was right.
-
The full backs did great, but they were well backed up by Joelinton and `Longstaff on their respective flanks tbf.
-
Whjat an advert for the pair of them.
